Mint chocolate, I agree.
But mint chocolate chip ice cream stands alone.
The 2 flavours are distinct without blending, but do complement (so, I can understand the mint chocolate even if I don't appreciate it). And the chocolate chips add texture.

Rum and raisin is clearly better.

If it was, then there wouldn't be raisins in it.

It's a correct flavour, but I wouldn't go as far as to use the definite article.

I would agree with you, but a few years ago I discovered peppermint ice cream.

It has the nice mint, none of the chocolate garbage, and no texture contamination (peppermint is entirely smooth, no chocolate chunks mucking up the enjoy-mint)

It is therefore superior.

If I can't get the honey lavender flavor from my favorite joint in Seattle, then it's got to be mint chip.

My ex used to work an ice cream factory (Walls I think but not completely sure I remember right). She said she wouldn't touch mint with a barge pole. Apparently, any wastage from other flavours was chucked in the mint one because mint is such a strong flavour it masks the other flavours.

On a brighter note, in between flavour changes on the equipment, they would spend a whole shift cleaning. For flavours marketed as allergy friendly, they would spend two shifts cleaning, so didn't need to put "may contain traces of..."

Does that change your mind at all?
